  • It's very recently closed its doors, sadly, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more specific shop than long-time Edinburgh landmark, Borland's:

  • Saw the first two years ago, but never got round to watching the third one until a few weeks ago.

    Batman Begins - I don't really remember it too well. I think I thought it was ok.

    Dark Knight - don't remember too well hut I remember really enjoying it.

    DKR - I thought it was ok, but some bits were just so dumb, and it was often quite confusing tbh. I had thought that the general view on it was that it was great, but reading the comments here, apparently that's not the case!

    I really enjoy Nolan's work on the whole, but I'm not sure the Batman films were a good fit for him.

  • First one that comes to mind is Swastika Night by Katharine Burdekin (using the pseudonym Murray Constantine).

    It's a "What if the Nazis Won the War?" story, set 900 years in the future. However, it was written in 1937, two years before WW2 even started.

    It's kind of like 1984, and much of it is quite talky and philosophical, but there are also some bits that are really, really messed up. It's excellent.

  • Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I love the Ewoks myself. Never really had a problem with them :-)

  • Alien³

  • Changing the controller port was one of my favourite game moments ever. Such a clever idea.

  • Ha, I only noticed afterwards that someone else basically said the same thing. Still though 😁

  • Debt first but redirect the payments straight into your savings (possibly slightly lower to make it easier).

    And treat yourself to something small (like $50 or so), as a reward for doing the sensible thing with most of it.

    And then have a brilliant time in Japan 😁

  • I like BlueSky, and it's nowhere near as unhinged as Twitter.

    As with how Twitter used to be, it's just a question of curatung your feed. If someone is an asshole you block them and move on.

    The key difference is that you can choose to have a feed of only those you follow, and that's what you actually get, not algorithm-driven nonsense.

  • Depends what you're interested in really - music, films, politics, food, gardening, TV, books, etc, etc. I

    If you edit your post to give some idea of your interests, hopefully people can recommend some communities for you 👍

    EDIT - alternatively, head to https://lemmy.org/search, and see what you can find (remember to change the setting from Local to All, so that you can find communities that are on a different instance than you).

  • 1 Megadrive (aka Genesis)2 PS43 Wii

    Have also had a PS1 and 2, and really liked them as well, but these 3 are my top picks

  • Everyone would just have a 1

  • This is one where I quite like the original, I hate the Madness cover that made it famous, but I love this more recent version:

    It Must Be Love (Crooked Man remix) - Lady Blackbird

  • You can apply a lot of adjectives to Kate Bush, but I've never heard her described as bland before. That's quite a take.

  • I don't disregard them, but I do think less of them.

  • Great choice. It's my favourite album of theirs too.

  • Mandinka (Guinea) - Yeke Yeke by Mory Kante, either the Afro Acid mix or the Hardfloor remix

    French - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix) - Lexicon Avenue

    Spanish - Llorando - Rebeka del Rio. Spanish language cover of Roy Orbison's 'Crying'. Video includes minor spoiler for Mulholland Drive.

    Greek - Efige Efige - Stelios Kazantzidis

    Malawi (sorry, I don't know exactly what language this is in - EDIT: possibly Chichewa) - A Bale Ndikuwuzeni - Gasper Nali

    Songhai (Mali) - Soubour - Songhoy Blues

    French (Burkina Faso) - Taximen - Amadou Balake

    TIL that not only is Measles very dangerous in itself but it also strips away and resets much/most of your immune system.
